The Doomsday teaser raises the stakes for Steve Rogers and it makes me nervous

I keep rewatching the teaser and try to be excited for Doomsday but just can't. Cap was one of my absolute favorites, and I was so genuinely happy to see him finally get his rest and happy ending with Peggy at the end of Endgame. Bringing him back now makes me nervous that they’re just going to mess it all up, especially raising the stakes with his kids. It’s hard to enjoy the return when it feels like his happy ending is being used as collateral.

I do feel better about this that the Russo brothers are behind it. Since they were the ones behind Winter Soldier, Civil War, Infinity War, and Endgame, I have to believe they wouldn't do him dirty. They’re the ones who gave him that happy ending to begin with, so I’m hoping they won't ruin his legacy for a cheap emotional beat.

There’s always the possibility that this is just a variant, though I’m not really buying that. Even if it is a variant, or if he only has a small part, it makes me wonder why they’d even bother bringing him back in the first place. Honestly, if they were dead set on bringing Chris Evans back, I would have much preferred seeing him play a completely different variant like an evil Cap working alongside RDJ’s Doom.

I’m curious what everyone else is thinking about this. Are you guys actually hyped to see him back, or do you feel like they should have just let his story be finished in Endgame?

i feel like steve's ending won't change but more that we get a look into how his actions cause the events of Doomsday

i do wish we were getting a variant version like captain hydra. would've been cool

I'm hopeful that they stay away from the evil Hydra Steve angle. I'm all set with continuing the Dark Knight trope of "die a hero or live long enough to become a villain". We already have Downey Jr going evil Tony/Doom. Evil Steve on top would just be some sort of blatant "see look, the new heroes we are running with are even better than the OG Avengers because they defeated the OG squad."

My main concern about the Steve we see in the trailer is that he IS an evil variant. One fueled by the death of the child we see in the trailer.

That's what I'm assuming this the Doom motivation is. I know they've said he's not a "variant" of Tony but whatever maybe they're being really coy about their language choice.

Maybe a botched "unsnap" that erases people born during the 5 year blip and damages a stone (which would would be a disaster in itself).

Actually I would argue, since they're bringing him back after... \*checks notes\* Endgame, the stakes are lower. Does any ending matter if they just bring chars back from where/whenever?

PotentialAnt96702025-12-24 19:08

Especially after Logan's ending. The multiverse makes it so that charaacters can always come back if the money's right

Citizensnnippss2025-12-24 19:25

It's still not *that* Logan, though. Deadpool & Wolverine did a great job establishing that he's a different character.

I don't think they'll bring in a new Steve Rogers, but even if they did, it's still not *our* Steve.

(Assuming Secret Wars doesn't end with completely resetting everything anyway)

PotentialAnt96702025-12-24 19:38

Right, but to me, the average moviegoer, it's still a Hugh Jackman Wolverine. And at the end of the day, the line becomes real blurred.

i can guarantee you that the majority of people don’t differentiate the variants in their head, i barely do and i watched all of those movies lol

Antrikshy2025-12-24 19:59

*The* Logan being dead, and Deadpool going on a hunt for other Logans was specifically a plot point in the movie.

GrootyTooty2025-12-24 19:51

But you as the average moviegoers still understood its not the same wolverine, desdpool movies are not subtle in explanations

poppythepupstar2025-12-24 19:58

maybe they will bring maria hill and talos back (a girl can dream)

Techno_Core2025-12-24 20:10

Hell, where my Black Widow at?

CaptHayfever2025-12-24 20:12

> where/whenever?

They're meant to be together.

Endgame was 6 years ago, 7 when this releases. Let’s calm down and enjoy another Steve Roger’s movie after a long break

Doom is coming to take his happy ending away. I think that’s going to be his motivating force. I’m all for protective daddy Steve Roger’s.

poppythepupstar2025-12-24 19:56

ngl it would literally be the funniest thing ever if they brought steve rogers back just to kill him off in the first 10 minutes

MonsieurAK2025-12-24 20:14

I actually think this is possibly the move. One ups Thanos KO'ing the Hulk in IW.

neogreenlantern2025-12-24 20:23

My prediction is we only see Steve in Flashbacks and the person on the bike and looking at the suit is actually the baby.

AMillenialOverUrShit2025-12-24 20:08

Your opinion is *DOOMED*

So over this negative *ragebait* bullshit 🙄

With the two onscreen appearances of Doom thus far, he's been going after babies. It makes me think that might be a major plot point. The next trailer is Thor and his daughter. So maybe Doom is collecting children of the heroes to do... something evil?
